Finding Shelter {Newborn Session, Olympia, WA}

Another rainy spring afternoon in the Northwest…one of those days you’re grateful to be inside. Aaron and Lauren brought freshie, week old Noelle, in for her first portraits bundled in a sea of pink sweetness.  She had more hair than my boys had at age three!  Dark, lustrous hair that almost shone as brightly as her parents beaming faces.  Parents who, I marveled, looked remarkably well rested : )

I miss those days where you would lose yourselves for hours, just watching a yawn, a nose wriggle or listening to the funny newborn grunts.  The miracle that becomes the center of your world. As I watched and photographed Lauren and Aaron with Noelle, I saw a place of such love. And I knew that no matter how much rain fell in our verdant city, she would always have a place of shelter. A loving, cherished shelter.  Congratulations to you! xoxo

 

There's just something so magical about a newborn…

Yesterday the world welcomed Samarra!  Who needs a May Day bouquet when you have chubby cheeks to smell and kiss?  I’ve been friends with Annie for nearly 30 year (that sounds so strange to say!)  She is the sweetest Momma to Saffron and now adorable lil Samarra, lucky  lucky girls!  I dropped by for a quick visit this afternoon and here she was, not even 24 hours old,  bright eyed and so calm…until diaper change time!  This kid just might be a singer! What lungs!  Big sis Saff was enjoying coloring and figuring out who this new person was–Samarra will be well tended to with Saff for a sis.  Congrats you guys!! xoxo CortDSC_8863-EditDSC_8865-EditDSC_8877-Edit
